Pro-crypto US Senator shows support for Bitcoin with a laser eyes profile picture
Cynthia Lummis, a pro-crypto US Senator, recently changed her Twitter profile picture to an image of herself with glowing red eyes. This is a reference to the "laser eyes" meme that has become popular among Bitcoin maximalists in the crypto community. Lummis's profile picture change comes just days after the U.S. Senate passed a bipartisan resolution (HJ Res. 109) that would overturn accounting guidance (SAB 121) from the Securities and Exchange Commission that has been criticized for subjecting crypto custodians to the same strict rules as banks. Lummis spoke in favor of the Senate's passage of HJ Res. 109 earlier today. Lummis's support for Bitcoin is a sign of the growing mainstream acceptance of cryptocurrency. As more and more people begin to understand the benefits of Bitcoin, we can expect to see more support for it from elected officials.
